Looking for musicians to form an original band, influences below, to gig and hopefully go all the way with.
I'm pretty versatile as to my role in the band - happy to play rhythm or lead guitar, could pick up a bass and can sing a bit. I also write and am 100% about the music - people looking for an opportunity to make money or willing to sell out look on. I am a very very easy going guy and willing to jam with pretty much anyone just as long as they share the same sort of vision and drive.
Most of these don't go together but if you like most or some of these bands you are probably who I'm looking for
Main - Radiohead, early Bloc Party, My Bloody Valentine, The Smiths, Doves, The Verve, Joy Division, Gang of Four
Other - Spiritualized, Elbow, Slowdive, The Horrors, Ride, PJ Harvey, Josef K, early XTC, Wire, Dutch Uncles, Delphic, Everything Everything, Outfit, Wild Beasts, Grizzly Bear, Elliott Smith, Nick Drake, Portishead, Massive Attack, Battles, Kate Bush, Suede, Anna Calvi, Flying Lotus, Burial, The Divine Comedy, Breton, Chapel Club, Richard Hawley, The Music, Jeff Buckley, The Rakes, The Cure, Blur
I'm mainly looking to form a band influenced by all the good, non-landfill indie bands featured in NME, and some other influences. I'm looking to do something angular, powerful, cohesive, sometimes mellow and sometimes razor sharp, a bit experimental and ultimately original.
I state now that I'm not trying to mine the corpses of post-punk, shoegaze or cosmic-rock, form an indie pop band or a humourless 'dark' band, but something influenced by all the above and more, and any influences people can bring to the table.
I live in Fallowfield in student halls, I promise I'm not some pretentious student wanker and my room is more than large enough to practice in for regular rehearsals, if nowhere else is available. However, I'm willing to travel to just about anywhere in Manchester
I'm 19, so looking for anyone from about 16-25, to form the band with.
